What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Johnstone?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.

How does it work in Johnstone?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Damaged lath repairs in Johnstone: questions

How much is a visit in Johnstone?

Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Johnstone as elsewhere we cover.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Johnstone?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Johnstone visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Johnstone without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

Will the new laths match my door's colour?

We match the lath type, size and colour as closely as possible, but new laths can look slightly different from laths that have weathered over the years. If we expect a noticeable difference, we'll tell you before any laths are ordered, so you can decide whether a repair or a new door suits you better.

Do you replace laths on insulated roller doors?

Yes. We replace damaged laths on single-skin and insulated roller garage doors of any make, provided matching laths are available. Insulated laths are double-skinned aluminium filled with foam, and they come in different heights, so the new laths are matched to your curtain's size and profile.
